Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Euphonium für Kinder gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch. Die Erfindung betrifft das Gebiet der Instrumentenherstellung, insbesondere das Gebiet der Herstellung von Blechblasinstrumenten, wie einem Euphonium.The invention relates to a euphonium for children according to the independent claim. The invention relates to the field of instrument manufacture, in particular the field of the manufacture of brass instruments such as a euphonium.
Derartige Euphonien haben normalerweise eine Gesamt-Rohrlänge von 2640 mm, welche einer Grundstimmung in Bb entspricht. Dabei bedingt die Gesamt-Rohrlänge eine große Gesamthöhe solcher Instrumente. Sowohl die hohe Anordnung der Ventile am Instrument, als auch die Ausbildung der Ventile als sog. Top-Action-Ventile, welche von oben betätigt werden müssen, sind Gründe, weshalb diese Euphonien insbesondere für Kinder aufgrund ihrer geringeren Körpergröße nur schwer zu handhaben sind. So beträgt die Gesamthöhe gewöhnlicher Euphonien mehr als 52 cm und nicht selten deutlich über 80 cm. Die Gesamthöhe des Euphoniums ist dabei als Abstand zwischen dem äußersten Punkt des unteren Bogenabschnitts, manchmal auch als Kamm bezeichnet, und dem oberen Ende des Schalltrichters definiert. Ein Kind kann ein Euphonium solcher Bauweise nur schwerlich oder nur unter Aufgabe der geforderten entspannten Körperhaltung spielen.Such euphonies normally have a total tube length of 2640 mm, which corresponds to a basic tuning in Bb. The total length of the tube results in a large total height of such instruments. Both the high arrangement of the valves on the instrument and the design of the valves as so-called top-action valves, which have to be actuated from above, are reasons why these euphonias are difficult to handle, especially for children due to their smaller body size. The total height of common euphoniums is more than 52 cm and not infrequently well over 80 cm. The total height of the euphonium is defined as the distance between the outermost point of the lower arch section, sometimes also referred to as the crest, and the upper end of the bell. A child can play a euphonium of this type only with difficulty, or only by giving up the required relaxed posture.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind die
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Euphonium bereitzustellen, welches die Nachteile aus dem Stand der Technik überwindet und insbesondere durch seine Bauweise für Kinder geeignet ist.It is the object of the present invention to provide a euphonium which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and is particularly suitable for children due to its construction.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Euphonium für Kinder gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aspekte bilden den Gegenstand der jeweiligen Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a euphonium for children according to the independent claim. Advantageous aspects form the subject of the respective subclaims.
Die Erfindung umfasst ein Euphonium für Kinder mit einer Gesamt-Rohrlänge entsprechend einer Stimmung im Grundton Bb. Dabei ist das Euphonium abschnittsweise gebildet durch einen Schalltrichter mit einem ersten Schalltrichter-Endabschnitt und einem zweiten Schalltrichter-Endabschnitt, einen an dem zweiten Schalltrichter-Endabschnitt angeordneten unterem Bogenabschnitt und einen an dem unteren Bogenabschnitt angeordneten Körperabschnitt. Dabei ist die Gesamthöhe des Euphoniums zwischen dem äußersten (untersten) Punkt des unteren Bogenabschnitts und dem ersten Schalltrichter-Endabschnitt (d. h. durch die Öffnung des Schalltrichters gebildete Ebene) weniger als 52 cm. Die geringe Gesamthöhe des Euphoniums erleichtert das Spielen des Euphoniums von Musikern mit geringerer Körpergröße, also vor allem das Spielen von Kindern.The invention comprises a euphonium for children with a total tube length corresponding to a tuning in the keynote Bb. The euphonium is formed in sections by a horn with a first horn end section and a second horn end section, a lower one arranged on the second horn end section Arch portion and a body portion disposed on the lower arch portion. The total height of the euphonium between the outermost (lowermost) point of the lower arch section and the first bell end section (i.e. the plane formed by the opening of the bell mouth) is less than 52 cm. The low overall height of the euphonium makes it easier for musicians to play the euphonium, especially for children.
Gemäß einem bevorzugten Aspekt umfasst das Euphonium ein an dem Körperabschnitt angeordnetes Aufnahmeelement, an welchem Aufnahmeelement ein Stützelement zum Abstützen auf einem Bein des Musikers durch einen Kraft- und/oder Form-Schluss in einer ersten Lage und in einer zweiten Lage angeordnet werden kann. Das Stützelement ermöglicht ein Spielen ohne Hochhalten des Euphoniums mit den Armen. Gemäß einem Beispiel ist die Stütze in der Höhe verstellbar, so dass eine Anpassung der Spielhöhe des Instruments relativ zum Körper des Musikers möglich ist.According to a preferred aspect, the euphonium comprises a receiving element arranged on the body section, on which receiving element a support element can be arranged for support on a leg of the musician by a force and / or form fit in a first position and in a second position. The support element allows you to play without holding up the euphonium with your arms. According to one example, the height of the support can be adjusted so that the playing height of the instrument can be adjusted relative to the body of the musician.
Es ist besonders bevorzugt, wenn der Kraft- und/oder Form-Schluss lösbar und feststellbar ausgebildet ist. Der lösbare und feststellbare Kraft- und/oder Form-Schluss erlaubt die variable Einstellung des Stützelementes auf Musiker unterschiedlicher Körpergröße. Zum Beispiel kann das Stützelement mit einer feststellbaren Schraube relativ zum Aufnahmeelement fixiert sein.It is particularly preferred if the force and / or form closure is designed to be detachable and lockable. The detachable and lockable force and / or form closure allows the support element to be adjusted to suit musicians of different heights. For example, the support element can be fixed relative to the receiving element with a lockable screw.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Aufnahmeelement derart auf einer Höhe des Körperabschnitts angeordnet ist, und eine Länge des Stützelements derart ausgebildet ist, dass das Stützelement in der zweiten Lage eine Überhanglänge über den unteren Bogenabschnitt hinausragt. Die Überhanglänge des Stützelements in der zweiten Lage ist dabei vorteilhafterweise so gewählt, dass das Euphonium beim Spiel derart auf einer Höhe vor dem Körper des Musikers positioniert ist, sodass der Musiker in einer dem Euphonium-Spiel angemessenen, entspannten Haltung spielt.It is also advantageous if the receiving element is arranged at the same level as the body section, and a length of the support element is designed such that the support element in the second position protrudes an overhang length beyond the lower arched section. The overhang length of the support element in the second layer is advantageously chosen so that the euphonium is positioned at a height in front of the musician's body when playing, so that the musician plays in a relaxed posture appropriate for playing the euphonium.
Nach einem weiteren vorteilhaften Aspekt beträgt die Überhanglänge zwischen 5 cm und 20 cm. Eine Überhanglänge von 11 cm ist besonders geeignet für Kinder im Alter zwischen 10 und 14 Jahren.According to a further advantageous aspect, the overhang length is between 5 cm and 20 cm. An overhang length of 11 cm is particularly suitable for children between the ages of 10 and 14 years.
Ein anderer technisch bevorzugter Aspekt sieht vor, dass das Stützelement einen Stababschnitt und einen Auflageabschnitt umfasst. Dabei erstreckt sich der Stababschnitt von dem Auflageabschnitt unter einem vorbestimmten Winkel weg. Der sich unter einem vorbestimmten Winkel vom Auflageabschnitt weg erstreckende Stababschnitt ermöglicht ein bequemes Aufliegen des Euphoniums auf dem Bein des Musikers.Another technically preferred aspect provides that the support element comprises a rod section and a support section. The rod section extends away from the support section at a predetermined angle. The rod section extending at a predetermined angle away from the support section enables the euphonium to rest comfortably on the musician's leg.
Es ist ferner bevorzugt, wenn die Gesamt-Rohrlänge 2640 mm ist. Die Gesamt-Rohrlänge von 2640 mm ermöglicht eine saubere Stimmung des Euphoniums entsprechend dem Grundton Bb.It is also preferred if the total pipe length is 2640 mm. The total tube length of 2640 mm enables a clean tuning of the euphonium according to the keynote Bb.
Ein anderer bevorzugter Aspekt sieht vor, dass das Euphonium einen Daumenring umfasst, welcher über ein Daumenring-Gelenk mit einem Zwischenstück verbunden ist, und wobei das Zwischenstück über eine erste Klemmverbindung mit einem Zapfen verbunden ist, und wobei der Zapfen mit dem Körperabschnitt über eine zweite Klemmverbindung verbunden ist. Durch die Verbindung des Daumenrings mit dem Körperabschnitt des Euphoniums mittelbar über das Daumenring-Gelenk, das Zwischenstück, die erste Klemmverbindung, den Zapfen und die zweite Klemmverbindung kann der Daumenring relativ zum Euphonium entlang der drei Raumrichtungen verschoben werden und um die Gierachse des Daumenrings gedreht werden. Dies erlaubt das Einstellen der Position des Daumenrings relativ zum Euphonium und ermöglicht dadurch ein bequemes Spiel.Another preferred aspect provides that the euphonium comprises a thumb ring which is connected to an intermediate piece via a thumb ring joint, and wherein the intermediate piece is connected to a pin via a first clamping connection, and the pin is connected to the body section via a second Clamp connection is connected. By connecting the thumb ring to the body section of the euphonium indirectly via the thumb ring joint, the intermediate piece, the first clamping connection, the pin and the second clamping connection, the thumb ring can be moved relative to the euphonium along the three spatial directions and rotated around the yaw axis of the thumb ring . This allows the position of the thumb ring to be adjusted relative to the euphonium and thereby enables comfortable play.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, wenn das Daumenring-Gelenk ein Kugelgelenk oder ein Zapfengelenk ist. Die Ausbildung des Daumenring-Gelenks als Zapfengelenk ermöglicht die Drehung des Daumenrings um eine Gierachse und gewährleistet Stabilität gegenüber einem Kippen des Daumenrings aus der Gierachse heraus, wohingegen die Ausbildung des Daumenring-Gelenks als Kugelgelenks zusätzlich zu einer Drehung des Daumenrings um eine Gierachse ein Kippen des Daumenrings aus der Gierachse heraus ermöglicht.It is also advantageous if the thumb ring joint is a ball joint or a pivot joint. The design of the thumb ring joint as a pivot joint enables the thumb ring to rotate around a yaw axis and ensures stability against tilting of the thumb ring out of the yaw axis, whereas the design of the thumb ring joint as a ball joint, in addition to rotating the thumb ring around a yaw axis, tilts the Allows thumb ring out of the yaw axis.
Zudem ist besonders bevorzugt, wenn das Euphonium mindestens drei an dem Körperabschnitt angeordnete Ventile umfasst, welche jeweils derart ausgebildet sind, dass die Ventile in einer Richtung betätigt werden, die einen Winkel im Bereich von 80° bis 90° mit einer Frontalebene des Euphoniums einschließt. Die Ausbildung der Ventile derart, dass diese in einer Richtung betätigt werden, welche Richtung einen Winkel im Bereich von 80° bis 90° mit der Frontalebene des Euphoniums einschließt, ermöglicht eine relativ zum Körper des Musikers tiefer gelegene Position der Ventile, besonders im Gegensatz zu gewöhnlichen Euphonien mit sog. Top-Action-Ventilen. Erfindungsgemäß wird so das Spielen des Euphoniums von Musikern mit geringerer Körpergröße, insbesondere von Kindern, erleichtert.In addition, it is particularly preferred if the euphonium comprises at least three valves arranged on the body portion, each of which is designed such that the valves are actuated in a direction that includes an angle in the range from 80 ° to 90 ° with a frontal plane of the euphonium. The design of the valves in such a way that they are operated in a direction which forms an angle in the range from 80 ° to 90 ° with the frontal plane of the euphonium enables the valves to be positioned lower relative to the musician's body, especially in contrast to ordinary euphonies with so-called top-action valves. According to the invention, playing the euphonium is made easier for musicians with a smaller body size, in particular children.
Außerdem ist vorteilhaft, wenn die mindestens drei Ventile Perinet-Ventile sind. Dies ermöglicht, zum Beispiel gegenüber Drehventilen, eine einfachere Bauart und günstigere Herstellungskosten.It is also advantageous if the at least three valves are Perinet valves. Compared to rotary valves, for example, this enables a simpler design and lower manufacturing costs.
Ein weiterer technischer Aspekt sieht vor, dass die mindestens drei Ventile in einer gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie angeordnet sind. Die Anordnung der mindestens drei Ventile auf der gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie erleichtert das Spielen des Euphoniums von Musikern kleiner Körpergröße, insbesondere von Kindern, bei denen der Unterschied der Fingerlängen vernachlässigbar gering ist und für die es somit einfacher ist die Ventile 71, 72, 73, welche auf einer gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie A-A liegen, zu spielen.Another technical aspect provides that the at least three valves are arranged in a common connecting line. The arrangement of the at least three valves on the common connecting line makes playing the euphonium easier for musicians of small stature, especially children, for whom the difference in finger lengths is negligibly small and for whom it is therefore easier for the
Bevorzugt ist weiterhin, dass die mindestens drei Ventile derart angeordnet sind, dass die Verbindungslinie mit einer Longitudinal-Achse des Schalltrichters einen Winkel zwischen 80° und 90° einschließt. Diese Anordnung der mindestens drei Ventile erlaubt ein ergonomisches Spielen des Euphoniums ohne Verdrehen der Hand mit welcher die Ventile 71, 72, 73 betätigt werden.It is also preferred that the at least three valves are arranged in such a way that the connecting line encloses an angle between 80 ° and 90 ° with a longitudinal axis of the horn. This arrangement of at least three Valves allows ergonomic playing of the euphonium without twisting the hand with which the
Ein anderer vorteilhafter Aspekt sieht vor, dass das Euphonium einen Tragegurt umfasst, welcher mit dem Körperabschnitt unmittelbar verbunden ist. Dies ermöglicht das Spielen des Euphoniums, ohne dass dieses mit den Armen hochgehalten werden muss, was insbesondere vorteilhaft für ein entspanntes Spielen im Stehen ist.Another advantageous aspect provides that the euphonium comprises a carrying strap which is directly connected to the body section. This enables the euphonium to be played without having to hold it up with the arms, which is particularly advantageous for relaxed playing while standing.

Das gezeigte Euphonium 1 umfasst drei an dem Körperabschnitt 12 angeordnete Ventile 71, 72, 73, welche jeweils derart ausgebildet sind, dass die Ventile 71, 72, 73 in einer Richtung betätigt werden, die einen Winkel a von 90° mit einer Frontalebene F des Euphoniums 1 einschließt. Die Ausbildung der Ventile 71, 72, 73 derart, dass diese in einer Richtung betätigt werden, welche Richtung einen Winkel a von 90° mit der Frontalebene F des Euphoniums einschließt, ermöglicht eine relativ zum Körper des Musikers tiefer gelegene Position der Ventile 71, 72, 73 besonders im Gegensatz zu gewöhnlichen Euphonien mit sog. Top-Action-Ventilen. Erfindungsgemäß wird damit das Spielen des Euphoniums 1 von Musikern mit geringerer Körpergröße, insbesondere von Kindern, erleichtert.The
Die gezeigten drei Ventile 71, 72, 73 sind Périnet-Ventile. Dies ermöglicht, zum Beispiel gegenüber Drehventilen, eine einfachere Bauart und günstigere Herstellungskosten.The three
Die drei Ventile 71, 72, 73 sind in einer gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie A-A angeordnet. Die Anordnung der drei Ventile 71, 72, 73 auf der gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie A-A erleichtert das Spielen des Euphoniums 1 von Musikern kleiner Körpergröße, insbesondere von Kindern, bei denen der Unterschied der Fingerlängen vernachlässigbar gering ist und für die es somit einfacher ist die Ventile 71, 72, 73, welche auf einer gemeinsamen Verbindungslinie A-A liegen, zu spielen.The three
Die drei Ventile 71, 72, 73 sind im gezeigten Beispiel derart angeordnet, dass die Verbindungslinie A-A mit einer Longitudinal-Achse B-B des Schalltrichters 11 einen Winkel von 90° einschließt. Diese Anordnung der drei Ventile 71, 72, 73 erlaubt ein ergonomisches Spielen des Euphoniums 1 ohne Verdrehen der Hand mit welcher die Ventile 71, 72, 73 betätigt werden.In the example shown, the three
Das Euphonium 1 umfasst einen Tragegurt (nicht gezeigt), welcher mit dem Körperabschnitt 12 unmittelbar verbunden ist. Dies ermöglicht das Spielen des Euphoniums 1, ohne dass dieses mit den Armen hochgehalten werden muss, was insbesondere vorteilhaft für ein entspanntes Spielen im Stehen ist.The
